Welcome to Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge Blog's first ever BLOG HOP and the very first ever “Challenge Blog Owner” Blog Hop! We are so happy to have you come visit us! The blog hop will be running from September 25th until MIDNIGHT on Oct 1st. Each participating challenge blog has it's own challenge for you.. with great prizes! You will want to make sure you visit ALL of the challenge blogs during this blog hop and do as many as the challenges as you can do in a week!!

Thank you for inviting us to participate ***scrapsketch*** !! If you came here via The Chirper Challenge, you are going in the right direction.You will find a link to the next blog in the HOP below. Here are all the participants and the order of the Blog Hop:

The guidelines set up for your entry are:1. Sign up as a follower on all of the blogs listed2. Leave a comment in this post3. Make a card/LO with the PKS sketch (below), for your submission on OUR blog and link it to your post with Mr. Linky below.

(We have challenges once every two weeks. Most are fairly simple card sketches, but sometimes we throw a wrench in the works, just for fun. We give away a prize at the end of each challenge and the winner is announced at the start of the new challenge. We are a fairly new blog and we like to encourage beginners, so we use pickrandom.com to choose our winners).

Here is your sketch for the Blog Hop challenge:

We have a great group of talented designers that graciously extend their time to make cards for us. Vivienne Holden, Lorie Souther, Diane Markle and Sonia Kertznus (currently away). Welcome please, our two guest designers for the blog hop, Emma Aguilar and Lauri Ingram. Thank you so much to all of our designers for their quick thinking and their awesome samples!

Lauri Ingram is a guest designer this week! Lauri used PK-319 Snickerdoodle Happy Elf to make her card. You have to go check it out.. IT SPINS!

Emma Aguilar is also a guest designer and she too is super talented!Look at her adorable take on this sketch! She used our Monster's n More Faces and one of our Pumpkin Faces.

LOL.. "It's Fall Y'all" is by Diane Markle. Diane made the perfect Fall themed card with a face stamped on the acorn, from one of our Simple Simon's Face Sets.

Viv's beautiful "Cherry Wishes!" card was made using our PK-239 Faceless Fruit. I wonder if she air-brushed the edges of her lighter cardstock with her Copics?I know I will have to go and read on her post!

I am a fellow follower and here is my link for the card. I will add it to the Mr. linkys... There are some beautiful cards on this site. It something I really want to learn. Well on to challenge 8. I don't think there will be any dinner for the hubby tonight. Too addicted.

Well I have been released from the hands of the scrapknappers and all is restored. I have finished all the challenges at 6 am this Sunday morning and I will sleep most of the day I am sure. Gnite and it was fun.Thanks

Just checking in to say that I am now a follower on all of the blogs! I am working on my challenges---but my stamped image is not going to look nearly as pretty as the examples here! :(I need to keep working on that!

Don't understand I was orinally posted as # 4 on your mr. Linky's and now I am gone. There is an issue here with the links being provided by the Scrapbooks & Stuffs website and it is taking everyone to the last uploaded photo instead of the challenge. I set up an album in my gallery called Blog hop. Sorry for the inconvenience. Don't know what else to do about it.

Thanks for a great blog hop. I've finished my card and have added it to Mr Linky. I hope you enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed everyone elses.Tina Galehttp://tiggersscrapplace.blogspot.com/2009/09/let-it-snow-card.html

Hi Kathy and DT,Well I just posted my card. I got a late start but I wanted to play along with your sketch. I love all of your cards!! Thanks for a fun challenge! I've got some hopping to do........Janice :)

I am a new follower, and I completed all 13 challenges also by 10:17 pm Pacific Time. Come check them out!! I had so much fun. I mostly enjoyed getting to see more people's artistic talents and I feel more of a part of the scrapbooking and paper arts community. I am so grateful for having stumbled upon this blog hop.

I have a question. Is anyone allowed to participate in these challenges? I'm a not a designer, but I have alot of your face stamps, and I love to make cards. I was just wondering if I need to be a designer to join in? Could you pleas give me a little bit of information on these challenges? Thank You so much.
